AWST: 3pm-8pm
NZDT: 9pm-2am
The full details from BioWare (now with built-in AEDT conversion!):

7am GMT is 3pm AWST. We don’t have daylight saving in WA unfortunately.
The USA is in daylight saving time now.
6pm till 11pm AEDT
6pm.. did you not play the game last tuesday?.. or read the patch notes.. 😉
Oops on AWST (and now corrected) but you other two need to read the actual downtime notes from BioWare which say it’s 7pm start. Also – I do the conversions on GMT, not CST, so the daylight saving issue doesn’t impact (until ours ends) 😉
:/ And yet, here we are at 5:45 and they’re already down.
And for Brisbane, it is 5pm till midnight. Let’s have a look at that, 5pm finish work, go home, try to play SWTOR…nope not tonight, guess what for the entire time you want to play which lies between finishing work and going to bed, the servers will not be available. Surely, it is possible to stagger the server shutdowns so that it is not just the USA that gets a convenient time?
and by 5pm till midnight, i mean 5pm till 10pm… :-s
Appears something off with their calculations – as it’s currently 6:32pm in Melbourne (AEDT), and 7:32am GMT (according to Google). Too bad – was looking forward to getting some swtor in between finishing work and server going down!
